"The past five years served as a critical transition phase, linking poverty alleviation outcomes with rural revitalization. Throughout this period, we maintained overall stability in core support policies. We have successfully met all transition goals and firmly upheld the bottom line: no large-scale return to poverty. We established a nationwide monitoring and assistance system to identify households at risk of falling back into poverty. By the end of last year, we had provided timely support to over seven million monitored individuals, helping them eliminate such risks."

"President Xi Jinping said that if China can succeed, so can other developing countries. Our experience holds real relevance. First, we always put people at the center. Poverty alleviation, at its core, reflects how a nation treats its people. China elevated this mission to a matter of national will, strategy, and action. Second, we adhere strictly to a precision-targeted approach. President Xi pioneered the concept of 'targeted poverty alleviation', requiring accuracy in identifying beneficiaries, tailoring household-level measures, arranging projects, allocating funds, assigning personnel to villages, and evaluating outcomes."

"Going forward, we will establish a regular mechanism to prevent returning to or falling into poverty, and incorporate such an assistance into the coordinated implementation of the rural revitalization strategy. After the transition period, existing support policies will remain generally stable, while their implementation methods will be appropriately optimized and adjusted. The most critical task remains early detection, early intervention, and early assistance -- to promptly eliminate risks of returning to or falling into poverty. We will launch a full-chain industrial development program to help increase farmers’ incomes, guiding formerly impoverished areas to fully tap into their own local resources and focus on developing local specialty products and distinctive industries. We will also permanently uphold the bottom line of preventing large-scale return to or occurrence of poverty through a sound and comprehensive social security system."

China's experience in poverty eradication, from targeted poverty alleviation to long-term rural development, could offer practical insights for other nations, said Han Jun, China's Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

China announced a complete victory in eliminating absolute poverty in 2021, lifting nearly 100 million rural residents out of poverty. A five-year transition period was then put in place to consolidate those achievements, which has just concluded.

Han said in an interview with China Global Television Network that major measures were adopted to prevent large-scale poverty relapse, with sustainable outcomes achieved.

"The past five years served as a critical transition phase, linking poverty alleviation outcomes with rural revitalization. Throughout this period, we maintained overall stability in core support policies. We have successfully met all transition goals and firmly upheld the bottom line: no large-scale return to poverty. We established a nationwide monitoring and assistance system to identify households at risk of falling back into poverty. By the end of last year, we had provided timely support to over seven million monitored individuals, helping them eliminate such risks," he said.

Han said China's poverty reduction model has become one of the most internationally recognized, influential, and inspiring development experiences, offering Chinese solutions and wisdom to the world's anti-poverty efforts.

"President Xi Jinping said that if China can succeed, so can other developing countries. Our experience holds real relevance. First, we always put people at the center. Poverty alleviation, at its core, reflects how a nation treats its people. China elevated this mission to a matter of national will, strategy, and action. Second, we adhere strictly to a precision-targeted approach. President Xi pioneered the concept of 'targeted poverty alleviation', requiring accuracy in identifying beneficiaries, tailoring household-level measures, arranging projects, allocating funds, assigning personnel to villages, and evaluating outcomes," Han said.

Han said the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will continue to support the long-term, sustainable growth of local industries to institutionalize poverty prevention and advance rural revitalization.

"Going forward, we will establish a regular mechanism to prevent returning to or falling into poverty, and incorporate such an assistance into the coordinated implementation of the rural revitalization strategy. After the transition period, existing support policies will remain generally stable, while their implementation methods will be appropriately optimized and adjusted. The most critical task remains early detection, early intervention, and early assistance -- to promptly eliminate risks of returning to or falling into poverty.

We will also permanently uphold the bottom line of preventing large-scale return to or occurrence of poverty through a sound and comprehensive social security system," said the minister.
